Awaken me like you do
every morning be it rain, shine or hue.
Build in me your thoughts so free
cause it helps me foresee
this enhancing feel of love and cheer
heartfelt, warm, full of all that is dear.
Allow me the will
to clear for you a place..quiet and still
to feed me with your love-spliced pill!
From the book “Dreams & Dew”
By Chriselda Barretto
Dreaming silently, watching aimlessly
Trying to figure you out
Feeling your thoughts work away
Splashes of paint all over you
See it now, that visionary pout!
Move on with your precise strokes
Building momentum with each strike
Vibrating colours on different textures
Fingers mixing in that light!
Can this be my unfaithful hoax?
Healing it is just to watch
You be my one and only match!

………..
She cried out of her senses
Sheer despair, beaming at its hinges
Shedding her thoughts and beliefs
Resting in her mind’s deepest crevices!
With every drop, inching out attached negativity
Spreading thin, creeping riddled sensitivities
Cleansing out the coloured palettes
Years of depressed feministic rights and fates
Blooming on with the beautiful suffragettes!

Dedicated to Mother daughter suffragettes: Christabel and Emmeline Pankhurst
Shelter I seek
from these mistral winds
touching my skin
as ice on fire
melting innately all my ire!
Opening my pores
as the petals of a rose
blooming in abundance
under these rays
of the morning sun affray!
Carry me with you
onto the sea
glistening shades
of the truest blue.
Birds flying high
their spirits roaming
gravity free
making me feel full
of happiness & glee!

A poem from “Dreams & Dew”
Turn over a new leaf,
do it because
you know you need to.
Turn over a new page,
because this story
has to be told by you.
Fill it with writings
straight from your heart.
Detailed, important parts
hitting like darts,
to all its readers
embossing your lifelong art!
@Chriselda Barretto
When I think of the world
Of all I love and cherish
It all stems to that one moment
When I held you, without a single blemish!
Your smile, your eyes, teeny little fingers
Holding on dearly, capturing my thoughts
Blanking out everything, all the love you brought!
Dear little thing, never forget
You are my heart
Bound together from the very start!
Happy 16th my baby boy! 💙

Ana awoke later that night and walked home. She felt different. Her senses were more aware of her surroundings. She felt one with all around her.
Her walk had changed too, she took each step with confidence. Confidence that she never felt before. She would avenge what they did to her. Slow and cruel, she would make them suffer, suffer ten times more than the pain they had caused her.
Her body recently healed, she felt strong, she felt like a Queen! Their torment would start now. Her steps quickening, she started walking fast. Her pace was getting more rapid, now she was leaping like an unleashed tiger, all senses bound in harmony towards Tatiana’s house. Tatiana beware!!
See her now… “ANA the Queen of Vengeance”
